Shane Lowry unleashing F-bomb rants during golf tournaments is certainly nothing new. He did it at this year’s PGA Championship. He did it at last year’s Open Championship. He, well, you get the point. But what happened on Friday was still a bit shocking from the Irishman.

Not because of what he said. But where he said it.
Lowry’s latest tirade came on the 11th hole during the second round of the British Open at Royal Portrush after losing a tee shot left. “F— off!” Lowry blurts out before adding, “F— this place!”
Spicy! Have a look and listen. Well, unless you’re a kid. In that case, earmuffs:

Again, not unusual for golfers to get frustrated, especially under major championship pressure. But Lowry saying that? At this place?! As in the place he won his only major at the 2019 Open? The place where he’s treated as a local hero? The place where there’s a giant mural of him right down the street?!
Pretty wild. Not to mention, we’re not sure how “this place” made the ball go way left. Oh, and just earlier in the round, this place gave him an insane bounce off an OB stake.
Anyway, it just shows that golfers will complain about absolutely anything if they hit a bad shot. Even a place that should be literally their favourite place on the planet
